AGPgart is a kernel module for Linux and Solaris supporting the extra data transfer features of AGP video cards.

The AGPgart driver is an xserver kernel module that uses system memory to enhance graphics display. This feature is useful for memoryless graphics devices such as Intel integrated graphics and AGP graphics, which need to use system memory as video buffers.

Desktop users who use Intel 810/830/855 series graphics devices can achieve higher resolution of screen images under Xorg xserver with only 1 megabyte of BIOS-allocated video RAM. Video driver developers can utilize the AGPgart driver to allocate system memory for 2-D display or 3-D display and to manage AGP devices.

For more information, see the agpgart_io(7i) man page in Solaris Release sol-nv-b17 or later.

Jeff Hartmann is the current maintainer of the module. The latest Linux version is 0.99.
